INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN STUDIO

PROJECT

THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS AN URBAN INFILL COMMUNITY LIBRARY WHICH LOCATED IN

PETALING STREET AREA. THE DESIGN CONCEPT IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF TEAHOUSE

WHICH IS GIVE THE SENSE OF SERENITY THAT IN CONTRAST TO THE SITE AREA.

COMMUNITY LIBRARY IS FORMED THROUGH THE CLUSTERED DIFFERENT VOLUME

PAVILIONS THAT SURROUNDED WITH EXTERIOR LIBRARY AS A FOCAL POINT OF THE

LIBRARY.

SITE B: JALAN PETALING WHICH IS LOCATED IN A ROW OF SHOP HOUSES THAT

SURROUNDED MAJOR OF LOCAL COMMUNITY AND IN FRONT OF A BUSY TRAFFIC

ROAD.

ADVATNAGES

CAN EASILY CUT OFF THE MESH AND REPLACED

ACT AS HEAT INSULATOR AND PROVIDE RELIEF

DURING SUMMER

BOASTS SOUNDPROOFING

CONTRIBUTING TO PROTECTION OF THE

ENVIRONMENT

DISADVATNAGES

DIFFICULTY IN CLEANING DUE TO MANY LOUVERS

INSTALLED TOGETHER

NEED TO MANUALLY OPEN OR CLOSE THE LOUVERS

FLAMMABLE

NOT DURABLE WHICH NEED SPECIAL TREATMENT

BEFORE BEING USED

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM

BAMBOO LOUVERS COVERING

THE FACADE IS CREATED BASED ON THE BAMBOO LOUVERS THAT MOUNTED ON THE FOLDING FRAMES COVERING THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE

WHICH PROVIDE NECESSARY PROTECTION FROM BLAZING SUMMER SUN.

SELECTION REASON

BY USING THIS BUILDING SYSTEM, IT COULD EXPOSED THE SENSE

OF SERENITY IN THE SPACE THROUGH SHADOWS PENETRATED

FROM THE SHADING DEVICE OF BAMBOO COVERING WHILE

ENHANCE THE NATURAL APPEARANCE. IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL

FRIENDLY MATERIALS THAT BRINGS QUALITY OF SPACE TO THE

LIBRARY.

MATERIAL USED

BAMBOO LOUVERS, STEEL

STRUCTURAL COLUMNS ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE WALLS

BETWEEN THE APARTMENTS. A FURTHER GREEN ASPECT IS THE USE

OF SOLAR WATER- HEATING PANELS ON THE ROOF, PLUS

CHIMNEYS TO INTERNAL BATHROOOMS AND KITCHENS. THE

ROOFTOP PLANT IS NOT VISIBLE FROM BELOW, AS THE BAMBOO

FACADES ARE EXTENDED UPWARDS ON STEEL FRAMES TO

CONEAL IT.

ADVATNAGES

PERFORM WELL IN MAINTAINING

TIGHTBUILDING ENVELOPE

DURABLE AND STRONG

LOW MAINTENANCE AND TOUGHER IN RESIST

EXTREME WEATHER

SELECTION REASON

THIS BUILDING LOOKS LIKE MY COMMUNITY LIBRARY WHICH IS

IN CLUSTERED SMALLER VOLUMES THAT COMBINED TOGETHER

THROUGH PATH, ATRIUM AND OPEN SPACE. EVEN THOUGH IS A

METAL CLADDING BUT IT ENHANCE THE LOOKING OF TIMBER AS

IT IS BROWN IN COLOUR WHICH PRODUCE THE QUALITY SPACE

DURING LIGHT PENETRATE THROUGH THE GAP OF CLADDING

DISADVATNAGES

RELATIVELY POOR INSULATION AND THERMAL

REGULATION

STEEL CAN BE CORRODES IN COASTEL AREAS

AND MORE EXPENSIVE COMPARED ALUMINIUM

ALUMINIUM CLADDING WOULD EASILY

DAMAGED DURING INSTALLATION

MATERIAL USED

METAL FACADE CLADDING

METAL FACADE CLADDING IS INSTALLED THROUGH DOUBLE

SKIN METHOD WHICH OVERLAP THE WHOLE BUILDING TURN TO

AN ENVELOPE THAT CONTROL THE SUNLIGHT FROM OVER

COMING INTO THE BUILDING.

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM

DOUBLE SKIN METAL CLADDING

IT IS A SYSTEM OF BUILDING CONSISTING OF TWO SKINS OR FACADES PLACED IN SUCH A WAY THAT AIR FLOWS IN THE INTERMEDIATE

CAVITY WHICH CAN BE NATURAL VENTILATION. IT TREAT AS A SOLAR SHADING DEVICE FOR PROTECTION AND HEAT EXTRACTION

FROM ENTERING THROUGH THE GLASS SKIN.

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM

FLOOR COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION (GROUND FLOOR)

METAL AND STEEL CONSTRUCTION WITH PLYWOOD CLADDING (UPPER FLOOR)

STEEL POST AND BEAM (STRUCTURE)

COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION IS A BUILDING CONSTRUCTION THAT INVOLVING MULTIPLE DISSIMILAR MATERIALS TO CARRY LOAD WHICH

CONNECTED AS A SINGLE UNIT. THIS APARTMENT IS INVOLED WITH COMPOSITE METAL DECK WITH CONCRETE FILL, STEEL FILTER BEAMS AND

GIRDERS MADE COMPOSITEBY USING STUD CONNECTORS.

SYSTEM DETAIL

DETAILS CONNECTION OF FLOOR COMPOSITE

CONSTRUCTION (GROUND FLOOR)

1. Composite slabs comprise reinforced concrete

cast on top of profiled steel decking, which acts as

formwork during construction and external

reinforcement at the final stage.

2. The decking may be either re-entrant or

trapezoidal.

3. Additional wire mesh may be placed in the decking

troughs, particularly for deep decking.

4. A shear stud connector is driven through the

profiled steel decking into the steel beam.

PLYWOOD

CLADDING ON THE FLOOR THAT ENHANCE THE

APPEARANCE

STEEL PROFILED SHEETING

CREATE STRONGER BOND BETWEEN THE

CONCRETE AND HSEETIG FLOORSTRUCTURE

WIRE MESH

ACT AS REINFORCEMENT TO STRENTHEN THE

CAST-N PLACE CONCRETE OF FLOOR STRUCTURE

ADVATNAGES

RESISTANT TO CORROSIVE

WITHSTAND CRITICAL WEATHER

LONGER LIFE SPAN

HIGHLY DURABLE WHICH RESISTANT TO FIRES

DISADVATNAGES

CONTRIBUTE TO POLLUTION AS STEEL USED A

LOT OF WATER DURING MANUFACTURING

HEAVIER COMPARE TO WOOD POST AND

BEAM

BAD INSULATOR UNLESS ADDED INSULATION

HIGHLY IN COST DURING MAKING OF STEEL

SELECTION REASON

THE STEEL POST AND BEAM IS CHOSEN AS IT OFFERS MANY DESIGN POSIBILITIES WHICH CAN BE AESTHETICALLY LEFT

IT WITHOUT FINISHES THAT REMAIN THE NATURE LOOK OF MATERIAL.IT IS RECOMMENDED TO BE HIGHLY DURABLE

AND CAN WITHSTAND HIGH WEIGHT RATIO. IT COULD HELP IN FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTOF MY COMMUNITY

LIBRARY.

FINE PLATE CONNECTIONS

1. The quickest connections to

erect and overcome the

problem of shared bolts in two-

sided connections.

2. A fin plate connection consists

of a length of plate welded in

the workshop to the supporting

member, to which the

supported beam web is bolted

on site

3. There are two possibilities:

either the shear acts at the

face of the column or it acts

along the centre of the bolt

group connecting the fin plate

to the beam web.

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM

SKYLIGHT MONO PITCHED ROOF

IT IS A SINGLE SLOPING ROOF SURFACE WHICH ALSO KNOWN AS SHEF

ROOF INOVLVED WITH SKYLIGHT THAT IS STATIONARY AND TYPICALLY

CANNOT OPENED AND CLOSED. THE PRESENCE OF MONO-PITCHED ROOF

MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE ARCHITECTS TO CREATE A LARGE

WAFFLE=SHAPED VERTICAL SPACE, LEAVING REST OF THE INTERIOR FREE

FROM PARTIONING. LARGE SKYLIGHT PROVIDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF

NATURAL LIGHT, WHILE THE STEEP OBLIQUE ROOF SURFACE PROTECTS THE

RESIDENT FROM OUTSIDE VIEWS.

ADVATNAGES

SKYLIGHT WINDOW ROOF ARE COMPLETELY WEATHER

PROOF

THEY ARE SECURE AS IT CAN’T BE OPENED BY PEOPLE

ALLOWS TO MAKE USE AND FUNCTIONAL OF THE ROOF

SPACE

DISADVATNAGES

SKYLIGHT TEND TO LET IN MORE SUNLIGHT THAN OTHER

DAYLIGHTING WHICH CAUSE IN INCREASING OF HEAT

GAIN

SKYLIGHT INSTALLED ON THE CEILINGS OF ROOMS THAT

MAKE THEM DIFFICULT IN CLEANING THEM

SELECTION REASON

DUE TO THE PAVILIONS OF COMMUNITY LIBRARYTHAT I HAVE

CREATED, IT REQUIRED THE ELEMENTS OF SKYLIGH TO HELP

BRINGS THE SUNLIGHT INTO THE BUILDING WHERE AS ENERGY

SAVER FULFILLING THE CONCEPT OF NATURE THAT REDUCE THE

ENERGY CONSUMPTION THUS DECREASE THE ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACT THROUGH NATURAL LIGHTING
